June 19 - Four more aftershocks of of 4.4 to 5.2.
That makes 320 since the first big quake.
And the monsoons have started.

More aftershocks still but the real problem now is the rain. This video comes from a poor Tamang village near the epicenter of the first quake.
The amazing and humbling aspect of it, as always in Nepal, is how the Nepalese remain cheerful in the midst of it all.
I can't bring it up except to go to the Facebook page and scroll down to the second photo posted with video.

Hay Jan it seems NASA is also thinking of Nepal lately.
Tenzing Norgay just had a mountain range named after him...on Pluto! The Norgay Montes
Perhaps that will bring a bit of a smile for the nepalese today...with all they are facing hopefully it's a little something that helps.

Thanks climbski2. The Nepalese do indeed need all the smiles they can get. They just had another 4.6 aftershock today with the epicenter in Kathmandu. That's three months and ten days after the first big earthquake. At least the aftershocks are getting a little more spaced out now, instead of every day.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The nationwide death toll from this month's flash floods in various parts of Pakistan rose to 81 on Tuesday as floodwater inundated hundreds of villages, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless, authorities said.
The floods have affected 300,000 people in the two weeks since deluges hit the northern city of Chitral and the eastern Punjab province, the National Disaster Management Authority said. It warned of more rains this week and asked authorities to take necessary steps to prevent further destruction.
The authority said the flooding inundated hundreds of villages and damaged 1,921 homes.
It said a total of 172,016 people were rescued from the flood-hit areas in the eastern Punjab and southern Sindh provinces.
Pakistan's military meanwhile said its helicopters had evacuated 30 patients and tourists from the badly flooded northern city of Chitral to the city of Peshawar.

My husband is there trekking to Everest basecamp right now. He reported KTM still recovering from the earthquake, lots of construction going on. But plenty of places, like the KTM hotel he stayed at on arrival, were still intact and "certified" undamaged (for whatever that is worth).
But so far in everyplace he has stayed, Lukla, Namche, Tengboche, Dengboche, everything is operating as normal. He says there is a huge amount of repair and rebuilding going on but nothing causing any hardship for tourists. He says the facilities etc are comparable to his last visit. The guest house operators say tourism is way down this year - they are seeing far fewer tourists than normal for this time of year. That's nice for him as the crowds are less but not so good for the people of Nepal.
